A New Rhythm Ride

I think I’m going to come back. For real real this time. A lot has changed since I’ve last been here. A lot, lot. But for now, I’ll kick things off with my day.

Picture it: Upper West Side, after 2pm. Sunday, March 22nd. 60 degrees and sunny.

I’m at max potency of a gummy high, standing in the joint of the M86 Select bus, wearing a hat that reads Strange and Unusual (backwards and upside down), and blasting Basstrologe’s “Somebody to Love” through my wired headphones.

As the beat is ramping up, we’re on the 86th St transverse, speeding through the winds of the road & potholes that make me sway with rhythm. As the beat slows, so does the bus. We both roll to a stop. The bus, opening its doors. Me, opening my eyes and coming out of my body & back into the present.

As “One More Time” by Daft Punk starts, it adds to the blissful Soundtrack of my Sunday. I exit the bus and take one more drag of my vape. Next Stop: ATM & dispensary.

Now hours later, I’m gently winding down my Sunday. Getting in a few dabs, comfortably gaming while listening to the rain. But also, exchanged numbers with a guy from Feeld … and we’re texting.

I rejoined the app last night. Even took a selfie today while out in the sun. This “match” seemingly loves curvy women. Wants to “build them up” and embrace their beauty. I can’t yet tell if it’s in genuine or degrading tone. Stay tuned!

Glad to be back,
